Nissan Motor on Thursday said it would recall its popular Japanese-market Elgrand minivan series, as well as the Filly minivans it supplied to Isuzu to fix parking brakes for free, Dow Jones reported, citing Kyodo News.
In a report filed with the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport, Nissan reportedly said the parking brake defect concerns a total of 82,963 Elgrands, Caravan Elgrands and Homy Elgrands as well as 724 Fillys and Fargo Fillys manufactured between March 1999 and March 2001, Dow Jones said said.
Nissan reportedly said the outer covering of the multi-layered brake cables may develop cracks, causing a wire inside to snap when temperatures fall below zero, according to the Dow Jones report.
